Can Anyone name him? The other thing that is interesting to note is that in choosing the name "Browns" in 1902, the Browns started a trend of "reviving" an old name and an old era. The Browns were consciously evoking the memory of Chris Von Der Ahe's American Association Browns of the 1880s glory years. The towns of Milwaukee, Baltimore and Washington would all do the same in later years with the monikers Brewers, Orioles and Senators/Nationals. Even the Seattle Mariners is a slight evocation of the ill-fated Pilots.
